Or have they failed during the present hard times for small businesses?

Out of curiosity I wondered who/what is Pro Touring F-body so I googled it.
Their website looks like something from 1993, it says "for the past 17 years" so I'm guessing 17 years back from 1993.

It was built using Yahoo site builder, in HTML tables using HTML generated PayPal buttons.

Clearly they've been around a long time.

Not getting anything from their contact info?

Thanks for the fast reply neighbor. I'm in PDX also.

Still around, but absolutely buried, sorry if I didn't see the email, most of the time I'm in the shop and don't hear the phone, but unfortunately I don't even know who to look for.

Dave at PTFB is awesome. He's just swamped recently and communication can be spotty. I had a whole list of stuff I wanted to buy through him worth over $5k, but he missed my emails for 2 months and I ended up having to buy through other sources to keep the project going. I feel bad about it because he's super knowledgeable and provided lots of info that was invaluable for my projects.

On the flip side, any orders that I place through the web site are typically shipped promptly. Unfortunately, the web site doesn't allow you to order multiple products at a time, so shipping cost gets stacked. There's also a bunch of products that aren't available through the web site, like the Comp spindles, the steering shafts and some suspension kits. I wish the site could be updated, but considering how busy Dave is, that's probably the least of his concerns :D

They're closed until March 22nd, and then again for a week or so shortly after that. If you follow Pro-Touring F-Body on Facebook, these occasional closures and delays are announced there
